Alter family, Beverly Whiteside, Gary Meyers, Ed and Donna Gibson stop by


Friday, August 13th the sun sets on another fabulous day.  Below, Neighbors Mya and Jacob Martin waiting for the school bus - yep, school started up here this week.  Below Scooter spies a stranger in our midst and Angel is not impressed by her replacement hopeful that Ben brought home today.


L-R Ben, Adam, Allison, Emily, Kirk, Jacob, and Pam Alter.  Right clockwise, Ouch, Emily's hair, Ally's got a buddy, Adam and Ears taking a break, Perch checks on Jacob and Ears.

Thursday, August 12th, the Alter family drove in from Breckenridge, Colorado en route to West Layfayette, Indiana by way of Arkadelphia, Arkansas where Adam had a triathlon.  They are a traveling family and "Highpointers."  They have climbed the high points of - gosh, we can't remember exactly -  30 or 40-something state's highpoints.  The whole family !  Since they took home Ears and her brother, we can expect the first Kelpie "highpointers !"  They have an acreage at home in Indiana and will be learning firsthand about Kelpies.


Tuesday, August 10th, Ed and Donna Gibson came up from Pryor with their young Border Collie male.  We did enjoy their their visit.  We think it was the Fertilizer Chemical business Ed was in when they lived abroad.  Let's see, India, Venezuela and...maybe Italy.. Nonetheless, we loved hearing about their adventures and their decision to move back to Oklahoma to raise their children when the oldest was junior high school age.  Sounds like the kids all had their roots in good old Oklahoma ranching as the girls are pretty successful horsewomen.


Darvin Nix's Kate working out, "Ears" showing some sneak and Scooter walking up on the goats.


Ken Posey stops by to talk with the "pool man."  They took a break and tried out his 6 month old BC, Deets on the goats.  That's his Gus dog in the foreground.  Kelpie puppy getting a bath !


Above Beverly gets over 43 years of assistance with "Pip."  Right, Pip lines up on the troublemaker.

Monday, August 9th was a big day.  Beverly Whiteside drove up from the Jay, Oklahoma area with her nice dog "Pip" to get some assistance from Ben.  Sounds like he's a pretty good cow dog and Beverly just needed a little more handle.  Fellow Cowboy Junctioner, Gary Meyers came up from Adair with "Dottie" who just turned a year old..  Ben had a big morning working with them.

Left, Beverly, Ben and Gary discussing Pips cattlework.  Below, Gary's nice Border Collie Dottie finds out what goats are all about.
